Carbon Counts: BECCS, Ethanol, and the North American Opportunity

Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) is quickly moving from theory to deployment — particularly in the U.S. ethanol sector. As projects come online and carbon removal markets mature, stakeholders across the value chain are asking the same questions: What does BECCS really mean in practice? How are early projects structured? And how do we tell a credible, market‑ready BECCS story?

In this Carbon Counts session, which airs Wednesday, May 27 at 10 a.m. CT, EcoEngineers carbon experts Dave Lindenmuth and David LaGreca break down BECCS through real-world examples in the form of guest speakers from two leading ethanol-based carbon removal projects owned Frontier and Gevo. The panel explores how different capture and storage approaches work, what makes these projects viable today, and what they signal for the future of carbon removal markets.

The conversation moves beyond project headlines to demystify the broader BECCS supply chain from feedstock and facility operations to transport, storage, monitoring, and market participation. The panel tackles one of the biggest challenges facing BECCS today: clearly and credibly communicating its role in North America’s carbon removal landscape.

This webinar covers:

  • What BECCS is and how it differs from other carbon capture and removal pathways
  • How Frontier’s and Gevo’s projects are structured and what sets them apart
  • How to tell the BECCS story in a policy‑, market‑, and stakeholder‑credible way
  • Who participates in the BECCS supply chain and why each role matters
  • What’s next for BECCS and ethanol-based carbon removal in regulated and voluntary markets

Whether you’re navigating project development, market participation, or strategy, this session provides a grounded look at where BECCS stands today—and where it’s headed next.

Carbon Counts is an informational series exploring how guidance from the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, state and local jurisdictions, and evolving consumer expectations are redefining transparency in emissions accounting.
